OK, I can't be the only one to look at the Argonian and immediately think "Clever girl..."
^^so ninja'd.

OT: They all look very good, and don't have that terrifying "Bethesda Engine Uncanny Valley" face I'm so used to.

+2 excite for Skyrim.

Argonians look pretty good . They look a little more "dinosaur-ish" than other games. Everything else either looks outright fugly to just alright... mainly due to the repulsive graphics engine more than anything. Yuck... even Oblivion characters looked better than some of these.

Just more reason not to waste my money on what is going to be a colossal disappointment. Of course Bethesda fans are too blind to realize that the dev's MO is overhyping their buggy, poorly designed pieces of garbage in hopes that someone will buy into it hook, line, and sinker.

As good as these look, modders will probably find ways to make them look better. I just can't say I'm eager to see them put breasts on some of these creatures, which if history is any indicator, will definitely happen, with all sorts of options to boot.

By Azura they look amazing! I love the look of the Imperial, since I was thinking of rolling one I'm glad to see that they look good. The Khajiit are badass. I need it to be November. Right. Now.

I wish they had shown some female characters too, I'm curious about them. Would be kind of hilarious if the males looked awesome and the females still looked like play-doh rejects.

Damn Argonian looks fucking awesome. I might have to make one of them for my first playthrough.

Also, is it just me, or does the Dark Elf look quite a bit more low-poly than everything else?

I love them all!

And I know there was a Screenshot of a more...orange Kahjiit.

So I take it we can now change the fur color of our favorite cat people?

The redguard looks like he is a capable of kicking butt, instead of just having (imo) the best stats for any blade user.

Fuck yeah, Argonians look badass. My favourite race to play as, and now it actually looks good too! Hope there's some nice looking head frills and such.

I agree with the comments about the Orc. I hate the race, but it doesn't look very Orc-y. Just like a deformed, ugly man.


Nice to see that the Bosmer don't look ridiculously retarded now. The Nords, Redguard and the Imperial/Breton look great too.

Damn. Argonians look badass... I'm gonna recreate Homo Reptilia from Doctor Who and stalk some poor bastards around a graveyard at night!

I must say, those Argonian are sick.

I already liked Argonians, but now my mind had been made for me regarding Skyrim...

I seriously can't wait for this game. Thinking about pre ordering the one that comes with the statue of the dragon.

I always feel like Nords should be really tall. Like, considerably taller. They are usually my main race and they are the main race for Skyrim so maybe my expectations were a little high.

DID YOU FUCKING SEE THAT ARGONIAN!? HOLY CRAP.

I can understand not liking the franchise or the company that makes it, but is it really necessary to insinuate that everybody who likes the games only does so because the company told them to? If how well a game was recieved was based entirely around pre-release hype, Dante's Inferno would have gone down as a classic of modern gaming.

IMNSHO, Orc looks too human. I enjoy my burly, big jawed green motherfuckers.

That's because the Kotaku reviewer made him look like that. Usual orcs still look badass.
